“Ray Wylie Hubbard will release A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment (Hint: There is no C) on January 12, 2010 on Bordello Records with marketing and distribution provided by Thirty Tigers/RED. The album was produced by Hubbard with help from George Reiff. With a keen eye for observation and a wise man’s knowledge, Ray Wylie Hubbard composes and performs a dozen songs that couldn’t spring from anywhere else but out of his fertile rock and roll bluesy poet-in-the-blistering-heat southern noggin. “I like to look at both enlightenment and endarkenment,” he declares. “I feel comfortable observing each.” A. Enlightenment
B. Endarkenment demonstrates the kind of talent that every great songwriter yearns for. Throughout the album, his focus remains on the song- constructing and performing stories set to music that resonate in a way that is completely his own.”

Blues laid bare with an assembled group of like minded musicians, Ray Wylie Hubbard cuts a mysterious Rock figure, a true maverick in his field. Side helpings of slide and bottleneck guitar, remarkable poet-like storytelling and ragged amounts of Texan swagger gives this release hints of Country-Rock, Dr John, mid-career Stones and flipside Delta-Blues. Careful what you wish for, Ray Wylie Hubbard may be able to cross the great divide.
